Marie’s 60 for 60. #4 Mot okända hav (Towards Unknown Seas). You didn’t see this one coming, right? This song, written by Ulf Schagerström, deals with promises and love, just not the Big-big Love kind of fantasies you’d maybe expect now. It’s more about giving each other all the power you have, even if it’s sometimes not much: “Towards unknown seas, will you follow me?/ Through rain and storm, towards unknown seas, don’t be afraid/I’m only giving you a part of what you gave.” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/mot-okanda-hav/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #5 Tro (Faith) Oh, oh yes! It’s Tro and it’s #5! Which only means that we too like this song very very much. It’s probably the most iconic Marie song and while the title makes you believe (no pun intended) that it’s about religion, the lyrics leave space for interpretation: “Faith/I want to have faith/I want to feel tomorrow grow closer here in peace/In a winter world, is there faith?/I want to feel the wish about a time as bright as the freedom/Have faith again” . #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/tro/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #6 Den bästa dagen (The Best Day) The title sounds promising so many Swedish couples choose this song as their wedding song. So far so good. The problem is, it’s actually quite a sad song and people seem to ignore the lyrics. Here’s where TDR comes into play, so sit and learn: “Now I’m on my way again/longing for the truth/longing for rest in my soul/I always get the same answer/So many lies remain/So much concern in my soul/ A life, a seeking life/A time, a doubting time/This will be the best day of my life/The first and the biggest day of my life/I will cling on to the feeling/That I love” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/den-basta-dagen/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #7 Äntligen (Finally/At Last) A happy song and again a fan favorite! We’ve dealt with the remix of this song, “Solen gick ner över stan”, a few days ago and here is the original. You know this feeling when you miss someone, you’re longing (yes, THE Marie theme) and then suddenly this one person steps back into your life: Finally the sun goes up for you! “Finally, finally today/the sun rose up above the town/Everything I’ve missed is returning/Finally like the best friend/Finally!” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/antligen/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #8 Mellan sommar och höst (Between Summer and Autumn) We know, we know. Way too early, most of you will say now but you have no idea what we have up our sleeves! Now, do you remember the meaning of the seasons in Marie’s lyrics? As good students of the TDR School of Song Analysis you know that the summer stands for good stable times while autumn is when things turn dark… “There’s a feeling when the sun sets/When your shadow is all I see/A feeling between summer and autumn/When no one only you can give me support” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/mellan-sommar-och-host/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #9 Silver i din hand (Silver in Your Hand). A summer hit in 1986, and certainly one of our favorites. A happy-go-lucky song once more about love. “Silver in your hand/is nothing worth in this world/but in the land of my heart/is it as expensive as gold.” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/silver-i-din-hand/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #10 För dom som älskar (For Those Who Love). Welcome to the Top 10, time to get excited! Today we listen to the fight between the warmth of love and the cold of the world. Who will win? Because only when you find love there is the power to make this world a little bit warmer and better. “No more lies/I say what I see/and I refuse to give up/Come here and conspire tonight/come here and plan a coup/For those who love/it’s never too late/For those who love/the light’s always on.” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/for-dom-som-alskar/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #11 Den sjunde vågen (The Seventh Wave) We’re at the sea again, or are we? Technically, the tale of the 7th wave says that when you watch the sea there are weak and strong waves and every 7th of them comes in stronger than the others. Check it out next time and tell us if it’s true. This song on the other hand opens a second layer to the story and describes the seven steps of falling in love while at least from wave #5 on it gets a bit explicit if you read between the lines. Time for you to consult the online translator of your choice and judge yourself. You know you’ll always find the lyrics at… #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/den-sjunde-vagen/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #12 Ett hus vid havet (A House By the Sea). Welcome to the weekend, today we proudly present a rather short but surprisingly happy little tune which is actually only 80 seconds long, followed by a screaking seagull and seawaves which then fade out. “I want a house by the ocean where I can listen to the seagulls and do what I please” #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/ett-hus-vid-havet/

Marie’s 60 for 60. #13 Där du andas (Where you breathe). Movie time, ladies and gentlemen. Here we listen to the theme song for the movie Arn – Riket vid vägens slut. Marie’s version of it (it was sung by a few more artists later) immediately reached #1 in the Swedish charts. For the international edition of the movie she sang the song in English, you’ll find it as “Where Your Love Lives”. If you want to impress someone at the party: The movie won the Cinema Audience Award at the 2009 Guldbaggegalan, where another movie ringing a bell with every Roxette fan came in only 3rd: “Låt den rätte komma in” with Per’s song “Kvar i min bil”. #marie60 https://www.dailyroxette.com/dar-du-andas/
